" Director: Brian Gibson His 4th Movie My 2nd movie watched from the director Angela Bassett truly is outstanding in this movie. I was so impressed with all of her scenes.

But they also made it important to show her life was a lot more than just that. Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Angela Bassett Top Ten Performances - Lawrence Fishburne The Music Biopi"
